Q: Hi Peter/team, My question is about my Real Estate allocation, within my overall portfolio. I recently moved CSH.UN to my Real Estate sector from my Health sector which bumped my Real Estate holdings to 24.5% (good). I have heard some pundits say that you should also include your personal home as part of your Real Estate holdings? If I were to do this my Real Estate holdings would then jump to ~65% of my overall portfolio. Obviously, I would then need to trim some of my reits back down to roughly 25%. I'm wondering what the general consensus is and I would appreciate your thoughts. Bill

Q: Peter; I own both and so watch them closely. It seems that they are basically trading in lock step re volume and price appreciation.Are there any interlocking directors and/or management connections that you know of. Would a combined entity be a possibility? Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi there,

My questions is about xlre and SRET and the degree of risk associated with these 2 stocks. I currently have xlre and was thinking taking 20% of my position and investing in SRET - 1. for the higher dividend and 2. for the international exposure. Both would be held in a 401K and i only pay 2.95 a trade so taxes and trading fees aren't really a consideration.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
My question is about industrial REITS- I have been slow to replace Pure Industrial - most of your recommendations have been Dir.un.
I bought that last week after you had given a slight preference to Summitt over it - yesterday you were asked to recommend one and you picked WPT - what’s up?

Thanks for all you do
Dennis
